See if you can get him to bite you and let me know the results cause I am just as curious you.
 
Lol he has teeth, his lips are jut larger and overlap. Some jags have bigger teeth than others, but if its pure jag it'll have teeth. Even if he would lose them somehow they would grow back.

All jags will grow teeth at some point. I've never heard of a jag without teeth
 
Teeth in he throat are a characteristic of cichlids. Pharyngeal teeth. The teeth you can see are pseudo canines. These are used to grab prey but not actually process it for digestion.
